Life on the plains are much harder than my parents promised. I have to help carry water and, help my dad plow and plant the seeds, and even build our house. Every day in the morning I wake up make sure their are snakes in our house then walk one mile to get water for bathing, drinking for us and the animals, and the for the plants. I have to do that walk like six times a day. My mom says im pretty much done with school so all my focus in on the farm. Their is an indian village near our house, my dad told us never to talk to them. We often see cowboys when we are working. My parents say we live in a soddie and its pretty bad. I wish we could build a wood house but their are not enough trees around our house. My dad said it was a blessing to get the new farming devices so we didn't have to do everything by hand. My life is quite lonely, I like it better back in my old town where I had friends. The bugs we get down here and crazy. we have bees, locust, grasshoppers, lady bugs on our crops and in our house. THe winter here was terrible, the outside of our house froze and their was snow everywhere. We got blocked in the house like five times. My little sister almost froze to death, she had hypothermia, and frost bite. Life out here is quite hard, and my parents say we don't even own the land until 4 more years.
Dear Mr. Twiss,
Life on the plains are much harder than my parents promised. I have to help carry water and, help my dad plow and plant the seeds, and even build our house. Every day in the morning I wake up make sure their are snakes in our house then walk one mile to get water for bathing, drinking for us and the animals, and the for the plants. I have to do that walk like six times a day. My mom says im pretty much done with school so all my focus in on the farm. Their is an indian village near our house, my dad told us never to talk to them. We often see cowboys when we are working. My parents say we live in a soddie and its pretty bad. I wish we could build a wood house but their are not enough trees around our house. My dad said it was a blessing to get the new farming devices so we didn't have to do everything by hand. My life is quite lonely, I like it better back in my old town where I had friends. The bugs we get down here and crazy. we have bees, locust, grasshoppers, lady bugs on our crops and in our house. THe winter here was terrible, the outside of our house froze and their was snow everywhere. We got blocked in the house like five times.
